Overview

Descended from the Asiatic mastiff, the Bulldog was developed in Great Britain. Their primary function was that of a participant in the blood sport of bull baiting. They were also used against bears, other vicious carnivores, and lions. During the 19th century purebred Bulldogs were very rare due to the enactment of the anti-baiting laws. Today the Bulldog is a family companion and show dog.

Character

The Bulldog is moderate in size, heavy, and built low to the ground. They are strong, kind, amiable, and courageous. This breed is not vicious or aggressive and is quite dignified. They possess a passive demeanor and have a quirky sense of humor.

Temperament

This breed is loyal, exceedingly affectionate, and deeply devoted to their family. The Bulldog is dependable, gentle, and does well in a home with children. They will get along with other pets they have been raised with but may be rude and try to bully strange dogs. They thrive on human attention and are dependent upon it for their happiness and well-being. The Bulldog has excellent guarding abilities but will only bark when absolutely necessary. This breed is very possessive of food and should never be fed in the presence of children or pets.

Care

The Bulldog needs occasional brushing with a firm bristle brush. Bathing or dry shampooing should only be done when necessary. This breed has a tendency to slobber and drool so daily cleaning of the face is a must. They are prone to such health issues as breathing problems, low tolerance to anesthesia, poor eyesight, skin infections, and hip and knee problems. Nearly all Bulldogs must be born by Caesarean section due to their large heads. They are adverse to weather extremes and are highly susceptible to heat stroke. This breed is also well known for their active gastrointestinal system.

Coat

The coat of the Bulldog is close, straight, short, glossy, and smooth. It is of fine texture and there is no feathering, fringe, or curl. The color of the coat comes in red brindle, solid white, solid red, fawn, or fallow, piebald, and various colors of brindle. This breed is an average shedder.

Training

Early socialization and obedience are a must for the Bulldog. They have a tendency to be hardheaded and stubborn. It is important that they be taught to know their owner is dominant. They do not respond to harsh or heavy-handed methods. Training must be done with firmness, fairness, patience, consistency, praise, and reward.

Activity

The Bulldog must have daily exercise to stay fit. A securely leashed walk will suffice. They also benefit from and enjoy short family play sessions. This breed is well suited for apartment, condominium, and city dwelling. Bulldogs are very inactive indoors and do not need a yard.

Ownership

Help reduce the number of Bulldog puppies in shelters by doing your due diligence. Many puppies are often purchased with little or no knowledge of what goes into parenting one. Uneducated decisions often leave the puppy in need of adoption and in the care of rescue groups. Bringing home a puppy into your family has many benefits but we first implore you to educate yourself. An informed decision will take into account the characteristics of the breed, your lifestyle, expected veterinary care, the demands and limitations of owning one, their activity requirements and levels of companionship required.

Can the Bulldog breed live in a tropical country?

1 Comment

Anonymous

The English and French Bulldog is known and beloved for it's short/squishy face. But sadly, those faces can make life difficult for the dog when it comes to getting enough air and for regulating his/her temperature. However, if the proper cautions are taken care of, either breed should be able to live in a tropical area. The dog must have access to fresh/cool water at all times, shade if the dog is outside, but also be able to be inside with air conditioning. If those needs are met, the dog should do just fine.1/9/2015 2:57:33 PM

To answer the question will require a bit more information: How oldis your bulldog? What kind of dog food? Brand and dry or wet. When does this happen? Day or night, how soon after eating? How much is thrown up? Is it still in the original form or is it mushy dissolved?4/22/2013 2:16:15 PM

Bulldogs are not a breed that chews the food. Mostly EBD's gulp and just swallow the food. This add a lot of air to the stomach because of inhaling. Sometimes the trapped air comes up like a burb and the food above the air comes out as well. This usually happens in a short amount of time after the dog eats. The other condition that causes this is because of drinking a lot of water right after eating. Again, because the food is not chewed, when the water is added, the food swells up. Again, causing possibly a too full tummy and again the water and the food is expelled. There are dog food bowls that can slow down how fast the dog can eat. Check pet food stores or online. Many different designs that slow down how fast they can inhale the food. Good Day~4/22/2013 2:42:08 PM

How much does a grown old English Bulldog weigh?

1 Comment

A full grown EBD can range from 40-55 pounds for a female and 55-90 for a male. To know how big your bulldog will be, be sure a look at both the mom and the dad. The European purebred English Bulldog is about 20% bigger than the United Sates bred EBD. While the Bulldog Club of America list the "standard" weight, the current breeders of EBD are creating a slightly bigger Bulldog. Good Day~4/22/2013 2:26:28 PM

If breeding a brindle english bulldog with a red and white english bulldog what do pups look like?

1 Comment

A lot will depend. Just because the coat color "looks" a certain way, does not mean what the puppies will look like. There are color DNA tests that are available to find our exactly what color DNA each dogs has. This will tell exactly what will NOT appear in the puppies and then give you a % of what the puppies will look like. Some color are more prominent than others. The red & white is the most common. You could get some that are only red/white and others that are brindle. Good Day~4/22/2013 2:32:23 PM

ABSOLUTELY with out a doubt~! I have been raising EBD for many years. I have other dogs at my house and have never had any problems. My puppies have gone to homes with dogs and kids and there has NEVER been a problem reported. It all depends on how the puppies are raised. Are they around kids and other dogs to be socialized when young will make the difference. Good Day~4/22/2013 2:35:41 PM

Bulldogs are not listed by the American Kennel Club among the hypoallergenic breeds. This means that the dog doesn't produce a lesser amount of the protein causing the allergy symptoms. However, not all people who have allergic reactions to dogs are allergic to all dog breeds, so some people may be allergic to German shepherds but not to bulldogs. Certain bulldogs may also shed less dander, depending on their diet, grooming and health condition. Consequently, the only way to say if you are allergic to bulldogs is to live a few days in the dog's presence and check if you have any symptoms.

Unfortunately both breeds are related and both are termed as gassy breeds. However you can help REDUCE the gas with proper diet. You will never eliminate it however. My suggestion is, from 16 years experience with English bulldogs, eliminate the corn in the diet!! Research your foods ingredients if your serious about this. Over half the dog foods on the market have some type of corn in its food. Corn cannot be digested, and is an unhealthy filler that you find in "cheap, cheaper and cheapest" foods. A few brands to look into: natures recipe (its about the cheapest premium corn free diet out there at about $39 a big bag).. Nutro's Natural choice, Nutro Ultra, Blue Buffalo, simply nourish, castor Pollux, wellness are just a few to try. I feed Natures recipe lamb and rice. Thanks!

Absolutely NOT!! First off, as stated before, it can cause health problems for your male later on in life. Also by registration standards, your male must be a certain age or the pups can't be registered.. And if your breeding just for kicks, then that's irresponsible. Please reconsider waiting til he's AT LEAST 14 months old or more. 11/2/2012 8:52:03 PM

First of all, you are not taking into consideration that the PUPPY will have some real future issues going through any kind of pregnancy, and consequential caesarean at 6-7 months of age. Why would you subject the bitch to that kind of abuse? Has your male ever bred before? Obviously, you know nothing about the breed. As the puppy's owner, what in the world are you thinking? DON'T DO IT!!!! Unless, of course, you ARE doing this for kicks and do not care if you destroy the medical and mental health of both dogs.1/3/2015 6:13:23 PM

you might consider encouraging her nicely with either toys or food, whichever it is best motivated by. that method works with many dogs. 5/3/2012 10:07:51 PM

Overcoming resistance for anything takes times and patience. You might have to just sit down on the slats and wait. Encourage your dog to come to you with treats and praise. Keep doing this over and over and for as long as it takes the first time. Also try putting a towel over the entire wood so as not to see. If your dog will walk over, leave in place for many days. Then try folding back just a very small corner to start and keep folding back more of the covering. A heavy towel is good to not be able to feel the wood either. Good Day~4/22/2013 4:41:59 PM

The breed doesn't matter. A dog is a dog to the bulldog. Bulldogs have very low energy though. So a jittery and hyper dog won't be the best fit. Look at the dog's personality and activeness vs the breed compatibility.4/24/2012 1:11:25 AM

Bulldogs generally do not shed too much. If you mean common obedience training. Maybe, if you are lucky you can teach them to sit. Don't expect too beyond that.4/24/2012 12:58:22 AM

English and French Bulldogs are nearly impossible to train. I have had Frenchies for over a decade. If you want a dog that will respond when you snap your fingers, do not get a bulldog, it will save both of you a lot of trouble. The charm of bulldogs is that they are absolutely devoted to their owners and very affectionate. If you are away from home for long hours every day, bulldogs are not a good breed for you, either, as they will exhibit separation anxiety and can tear up the house if they get too wrought up.4/2/2012 11:54:58 AM

Bulldogs are generally very gentle, but they are still dogs and you must look at certain situations from a dog standpoint with canine logic which is different than a human and human reasoning. Most agressive episodes can be avoided but will be rare. I am sure your 3yr old will poop out the Bulldog in 5 minutes. They do not last very long and won't stand a chance against a 3yr old.4/24/2012 1:01:40 AM
